ITRC relies on its R&D expertise to strive for technological breakthroughs, and seeks to employ strategic alliances to expand the benefits of its R&D achievements. This year, ITRC completed "aerospace-grade mirrors and Remote Sensing Instrument OSA for the FORMOSAT-5 satellite" and an "Portable Epithelium Imaging System"; ITRC also joined forces with industry, academia, and research organizations to establish an Optical Systems Integration R&D Consortium and "magnetic resonance imaging system R&D and imaging service platform," both of which are considered highly successful and have received considerable media coverage.
